Hey, I'm 5'11, 175#, was an instructor and lived in west for years, also raced in college. Now in midwest. Still go pretty hard and fast for a 35 year old flatlander. Can still hang with my western buds on anything. Been on a Salomon Xtra hot 175 for a few years, I like that it was forgiving as I flail a little now in terrain, cuz I'm a gaper, but it was never enough ski. Too sketchy at speed, in crud, etc. I mostly ski Utah now, mostly backside, but racer in me still likes to mach on groomers at the end of the day. Looking at the Prophet 100 in 179, or Salomon Shogun in 182. Any ideas?

I find the Prohet 100 to be pretty forgiving - I definately do not have to pay attention to it much. It does have a speed limit - but I'm also 20 lbs heavier and that if going to 'pre-load' the ski more than you and might be inspiring a little 'tip flap' at speed. I can point out that while there is a speed limit, it is above what I noramlly cruise at so for me - it's not real limitation. It isn't a race ski speed wise. Correspondingly it has slow speed turning ability and float that make it easy to get through tight trees and chutes. Just in case the above isn;t clear - I really like this ski a lot!

Still looking for answers? I live and ski in Utah and on the Prophet 100. I'm 5'10''and 170 and 179 is perfect. This ski does it all...backside, frontside, inside, outside! Very stable at speed. You will love this ski as so many of us who already have it do.

The Prophet 100 likes speed, is pretty stiff, and not "forgiving" per se, but is a great ski for hard/soft snow, variable conditions...I ski these for packed powder/hard pack days and Volkl Kuros for the deep stuff. I really like the Lines.
